A remarkable story relating the thoughts, reactions, and adjustment of a family and a wife’s best friend after the wife’s unexpected death. Bill’s, Ali’s, and Annemarie’s thoughts and actions mirror the devastation of everyone and are powerfully portrayed as they move through the first year after Annie’s death. Life after Annie is bleak and filled with pain for the survivors as each is vastly dependent on her. Annemarie copes with her addiction. Ali is swamped with all the caregiving she must do for her brothers. Bill is completely lost. They all hear Annie's words in their heads giving advice and counsel. A very touching novel.
